With all the tuning options available, the 1.9TDI is not to be disconsidered. And it's not so underpowered at all, have been used even in some European vans slotted in a size between the Chevy Astro and the full-size ones.

Other options are the Cummins 4BT and Mercedes OM617a.
Trying to keep a 4BT under that hood wouldn't be the easiest job, but not impossible at all, and with lots of aftermarket support nowadays. If you would rather get a Mercedes-Benz engine, the OM603 might be a better option than the 617.
